[Verse 1]
We were just kids
Drawing armor on our school notebooks
Talking big plans
Hiding from the thunder outside
First real fight
Hit harder than the stories we wrote
Thought we'd fold
But you grabbed my hand in the fire
[Chorus]
We are stronger when we stand
Side by side, we make a promise
Every scar becomes a banner
Every fall becomes a chance
You and me against the breaking
Hearts afraid but still we ran
I am only just a person
We are heroes when we stand
[Verse 2]
Cracks in the ground
City shaking like a bad dream
All that noise
Trying to break our little brave hearts
You said my name
Like a lifeline cutting through fear
"Look at me
We have come too far to turn dark"
[Chorus]
We are stronger when we stand
Side by side, we make a promise
Every scar becomes a banner
Every fall becomes a chance
You and me against the breaking
Hearts afraid but still we ran
I am only just a person
We are heroes when we stand
[Bridge]
I was ready to give up
You were ready with a plan
All our voices rising up
Like a wave that won't roll back
If this is what courage is
Shaking legs and steady hands
Then let the world remember this
We were small, but here we am (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
We are stronger when we stand
Side by side, we make a promise
Every scar becomes a banner
Every fall becomes a chance
You and me against the breaking
Hearts afraid but still we ran
I am only just a person
We are heroes when we stand
